Trauma-Informed Practice

Course overview

As awareness of trauma continues to grow, one might ask themselves, How can I best serve individuals recovering from trauma? While there are, of course, many evidenced based practices to effectively address trauma symptoms, trauma-informed practice can be applied to any discipline. Trauma-informed practice is a perspective rather than one specific approach. Trauma-informed practice is an ongoing study to better serve our clients. This class is for health care providers and herbalists who want to learn about trauma and how to better support their clients who are recovering from trauma. In this class, you will learn types of trauma, the effects of trauma, and trauma symptoms. We will review the research that studies the physiological effects of trauma. You will learn how herbalists can serve their clients who are recovering from trauma. We will discuss how to foster a safe space in your practice through effective communication. We will practice applying these principles within your practice to feel more competent and confident in providing quality care to your clients.
